Gorgeous! How can you be so precise so tiny? I think when precision was being allocated, you got my share! :lol:

K are you due a trip to Specsavers....they are FAR from perfect, BUT I am happy with them lol, some of the blocks I just adlib, and stitched the strips as they were 'wonky', no pattern just got on with it as long as the colours looked right next to each other thats all I have given any thought to really, if a pattern catches my eye, then I try and make it, I don't like the bird house, that ones too 'boring' so will find another one tee hee!!

Foundation piecing is definitely the way for precision, although it takes abit of getting used to, and I have been doing my fair share of rippppppppppppppping and cusssssssssssssssssing :roll: :lol: :shock: :D

I think I was just blown away by the colours and range of patterns but I didn't see any wonkies! But then I think we're always most critical of our own work! I've never done foundation piecing - on the list to try one day.... :D

Have checked I'm wearing my specs not Hans (!) and looked again with nose pressed to screen - still pretty darn perfect to me!

Izy these are great! It's hard to get a feel for how small they really are - how about a picture of a few blocks with your hand next to them?! :D

OH MY Izy

They are Ab Fab - I spy some of my fabrics in there. Amazing how you've managed to coordinate everything. I love the LC block - did you say it was on quilterscache. I am currently making a quilt for my MIL using 12" different blocks - I'll have to visit the site.

Thanks again for sharing your one talented girl :wink:
